For a '99 XJ, how do I know if it has the heavy duty cooling system? What's
the dead give away?

 

Hi Jim,
Even thought, your wagon was designed by Kaiser, I would give it a
try, at least it was sold under Chrysler, now Daimler.

Usual list.

Larger radiator
Tranny cooler (for the auto tranny)
Stiffer springs and shocks
Trailer hitch
Trailer wiring harness

And rear sway bar.
And heavy duty charging system and battery.

If it has the "UpCountry"<ha!> suspension, there is no rear bar

Something wrong. Only small passenger cars use rack and pinion.
Are you using the VIN from the registration, the stolen pink, or the one
you may see through the windshield and verify by scrapping off the paint
at the frame holding the steering box.

No nothing wrong Bill. Checked the shop manual to be sure myself. It's
not the type you might see on one of the rice burners but it is a R&P
not a recirculating ball. I'll email you the shop page so you can
check it out. You'll need "Acrobat Reader" to open it. =:{)

I just got the build order for my ZJ [from your link, thanks!!!]
and it also claims that I have power rack and pinion steering.

The FSM claims it is power recirculating ball.
